Magic at Dawn

Getting up early has its benefits. This morning at the hot air balloon launch for example. More than worth it.

Best Camping Ever

We have been camping in this magnificent rain forest location for 40 years(can I call it a rain forest even if it's not tropical?) Almost every Year, with the same family friends we have camped, hiked to nearby falls, swam, jumped off the same huge moss covered rock, collected interesting rocks,(and bugs. We've eaten great food cooked on a variety of camp stoves, and fire pit, roasted marshmallows, and slept in tents. (Well, two trailers have been added now). Our families are growing, our number has increased and we are 3 generations of two families. (We missed only a few members this year due to work schedules.)
